All About Newmar

Newmar isn't the biggest RV manufacturer, but it's one of the most respected venerable. Started in 1968 by two executives from another major RV brand, Newmar is Mennonite-owned and located in the heart of Amish country. As with other Amish-made products, Newmar fifth wheel trailers and motor homes demonstrate an extraordinary level of craftsmanship. The company received the first-ever "Quality Circle Award" from the Recreational Vehicle Dealership Association in 1996 and has won it consistently since then.

Paradoxical though it may seem for a conservative, Christian company, Newmar has pioneered some of the best innovations in 5th wheel and motorhome design. For example, Newmar perfected flat-floor power slide technology. It also developed the concept of fully painted exterior graphics in lieu of applied vinyl graphics. This feature is now available throughout its line of fifth wheel trailers and motorhomes.

Being a smaller, privately owned company allows Newmar to do things a little differently. All of its RVs are manufactured at a single plant in Nappanee, Indiana, which allows Newmar to strictly control the quality of its units. And Newmar backs this quality with the best warranty in the RV industry. The company also personally trains service technicians around the country to ensure you of a high-quality experience.

While best known for the "Kountry Air" fifth wheel trailer, Newmar has expanded into both gas and diesel pusher motorhomes, as well. Because of Newmar's reputation for quality construction, Newmar 5th wheels and motorhomes make an excellent choice if you plan to keep your RV for many years to come.
